FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Big star is the REALT MOR translation across from Irish, and whilst that may be a bit of an exaggeration, the veteran Beneficial gelding has certainly given his connections some decent days over the years. It seems like a lifetime ago now since he won a point-to-point as a four-year-old for Vinnie Keane, and he caused this punter some anguish when coming down more than once in the latter stages when looking a winner cross the water for Nicky Richards. Anyway, he did get a big day in the sun when victorious in the Grade 1 Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse in 2013. That 10/1 win, along with a 25/1 victory (over hurdles here last month) means that the selection has now rather surprisingly proven to be profitable to follow for every start off an even stake. Hardly one to be lumping on at skimpy odds, he may well prove superior here to Draycott Place and Westerner Point. Champagne Harmony is one to keep a close eye on.
